Hackers use the death of Michael Jackson to spread a virus through an Australian station
Michael Jackson fans “Down Under” found a file on Sydney’s Beatz Radio show on the 2NSB (99.3) station website which purportedly contained unseen videos and pictures of Jackson. But the station discovered its website had been hijacked, and fans who tried to download those files instead were sent a password-stealing Trojan virus, which allowed hackers to log keystrokes from their victims' computers. The Sydney Morning Herald reports links like the one found on Beatz Radio were sent by hackers around the world as a part of a virus-laden email campaign. The file has been removed from the station’s website. But the site has now been blacklisted by some search engines, which warn visitors that entering it could allow a computer to become infected by a virus.
